4 political family rifts ahead of the 2024 presidential election
Barack Obama
While former President Barack Obama has been out of office for nearly a decade, he remains an important player in Democratic politics.
His brother Malik, on the other hand, has wholeheartedly embraced Trump.
Malik Obama's 2020 book, Big Bad Brother From Kenya, details how the former president's half-brother, who grew up overseas, "became a strong Trump supporter and Republican" with a "strong presence in the social media platform."
The biography on Malik Obama's X account includes the words "Trump" in all capital letters and "MAGA."
In addition to supporting Trump, Malik Obama has also come forward as a staunch critic of his half-brother.
In a 2023 post on X, the former president's brother explained that "I just wanted to be fake a— a snake's (President Barack Obama)'s big brother but he rejected me." He characterized his half-sibling as "fake as a snake" and a "TRAITOR" who "HAS SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL."
More recent social media posts from Malik Obama demonstrate his dislike of Harris.
He dubbed the presidential hopeful "'ABORTION' KAMALA HARRIS" because "THAT's ALL SHE TALKS ABOUT."
In a post published Thursday, Malik Obama wrote, "ALL THESE GREAT AND WONDERFUL THINGS KAMALA HARRIS SAYS SHE'S GOING TO DO, WHY HASN'T SHE DONE THEM THE FOUR YEARS SHE'S BEEN IN OFFICE? WHY?"
